WELCOME TO HEAR FOR YOU

Find out more about programs we deliver in rural and regional Australia.

Life’s not easy when you’re a teenager – and if you’re deaf or hard of hearing, it can be even trickier. That’s why we established Hear For You. We’re a group of deaf people who have been in your shoes, and we want to make your bumpy teenage ride a little smoother. So, we run a range of programs and workshops that give teenagers like you the chance to connect, pick up new skills and strategies, find mentors and have a good time (yes really!).

At Hear For You we recruit some of the best and exciting deaf adults around, and they have been in your shoes. Find out what John has to share simply by clicking on his pic below. Go on, we know you want to! In the face of the COVID19 crisis we are now also offering brand new interactive, online programs.

Acknowledgement

We acknowledge Aboriginal people as the First Nations Peoples of Australia and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future. We acknowledge the ongoing connection Aboriginal people have to this land and recognise Aboriginal people as the original custodians of this land.

Our Mentoring Programs and Workshops

Hear For You’s activities are the core of what we’re all about. These vary from four-day mentoring programs to interactive one-day workshops, and they’re held all over Australia. What’s important to know is that they’re all focused on the same thing: giving deaf teenagers support, guidance and the chance to meet some people who actually ‘get’ what they’re going through.

A fantastic and very valuable program. Programs like this help to validate the young deaf person’s worth, improve self-esteem, networks and provide ‘lived’ experiences that teenagers can relate to. I very much appreciate it. Thank you!
